Bowyer used to be a dent repair specialist and detailer when it was an Emporia Motors dealership.

“This is really a dream come true for me in so many ways,” Bowyer said in a news release. “I used to work at that dealership before I ever got to the Sprint Cup Series. I was the young guy running around doing anything and everything that needed to be done.”

The Davis-Moore Auto Group will handle the day-to-day operations.

“This is where I’m from,” Bowyer said. “It’s where my parents still live. I couldn’t be any prouder or happier to be in this position and to continue to support my hometown community.”
